What's in a name?

Intro to Marketing, the easiest college course I ever did take. Easier than tennis. Taught by my brother-in-law's friend, who told me the funniest joke in the world. Want to hear it? No? Okay, here goes. So this mushroom walks into a bar and says, "bartender, give me a beer." Bartender says, "hey man, we don't serve your type." Mushroom looks around and says, "aw, come on, I'm a fun guy." Get it?!

What I remember of Intro to Marketing was that I wrote a report with three other girls and our instructor used to be a nurse. All three other group members were marketing majors, so you can be sure that other than clothes and makeup, there wasn't all that much we could talk about. Except tampons! Our project was to write a marketing strategy for some product - and we chose tampons.

What if our instructor had chosen the product for us? What if she had asked us to figure out the marketing mix for CleanButt? Who do you think the target market is for a CleanButt with Filter?

I am...

I grew up on the beautiful island of Saipan, where 74 degrees is cold. Now I live in the Pacific Northwest. You do the math.
I love to laugh. My blog makes me laugh; I'm probably the most avid reader of my blog. I am sober and I love Christ. But I am far from boring. At least, I'd like to make you think that.
I am a stay at home mom to three amazing children and wife to an awesome man. I've always fallen for the tough geeky type. I dream of making an income from my many "hobbies". I don't like the word "hobby".
I want to be made into a lounge singer.
